coming for these north korean troops. >> white house wouldn't go as far as to say what sort of training they were receiving only that they had seen them sometime between early and mid-october arriving in russia and going to these training bases, the u.s. >> now, watching very closely to see what it is and where it is that these north korean troops end up for the u.s. this is a sign of desperation in the white house's words for russia, they're suffering 1,200 casualties killed and wounded a day in the fighting in ukraine. and that means russian president vladimir putin may need effectively more bodies to fight his war. the white house also made very clear what this means for north korean troops if they end up fighting on behalf of russia, that means they are quote fair game and we'll essentially fight perhaps die like russian troops as they fight against ukraine. here's the u.s being very clear here. sara, one of the key questions that is still out there is what is north korea get in exchange for not only the weapons they're
5:01 am
providing, but now the troops they are providing to russia. and could that be something like nuclear or satellite technology? and that would be very problematic? >> well, all right, we're in really brynn. thank you so much. a new hour of cnn news central starts right now kamala harris on the campaign trail fresh off the big cnn town hall event. >> she's off the battleground, georgia it'd be joined for the first time by former president barak obama and a long list of celebrities and officials in arizona have arrested a man in connection with multiple shooting thanks at a dnc office and authorities now say they think the man was preparing to carry out a mass casualty event. plus access denied or attempted to be denied. officials in georgia say they have thwarted an attempted cyber attack targeting the states absentee ballot website, who they think and behind the attempted hack. i'm kate
5:02 am
bolduan with sara sidner and john berman. this is cnn new central do after you call your political rival a fascist for the first time? >> oh wow, kamala harris he hit the campaign trail. barack obama, bruce springsteen, spike lee, and more. >> we should note that harris also picked up new endorsements from a couple more republicans. >> a key mayor in wisconsin, a former republican congressman overnight on cnn, harris also brought back the word she used when she first entered this race this summer joy. thank you so morning, everyone. >> i believe the american people deserve a president who is saying, look, let's just be practical let's get things done and let's not be afraid of having a little joy twine of, you know, what gives you, what makes you feel good about your work. let's, let's do it in a way that is grounded in
5:03 am
optimism. i think people are exhausted with the idea that we're just going to be divided and angry instead of working on the alright, let's get right to cnn's priscilla alvarez, who is in georgia where the big event for the vice president will be today. >> what do you expect priscilla? >> well, john, we have turned now to the phase of this election that is turning out the vote. so this event here today in atlanta, georgia is going to be about energizing voters and doing that with former president barak obama. this will be the first time that vice president kamala harris and obama we'll be campaigning together. and it's going to be headlined by bruce springsteen, who of course, it has been a regular presence in the waning days of the election for democratic candidates. but even so, john, as you were just showing that clip of the town hall, the campaign is still doing the work of introducing
5:04 am
and reintroducing the vital he's president to voters. and on that front, she was asked during the town hall how she would be different from a biden administration. take a listen continuation of the biden administration. i represent a new generation of leadership on a number of issues. i bring a whole set of different experiences to this job and the way i think about him than joe biden, some voters might ask, even in the white house for four years, you were vice president, not the president, but why wasn't any of that done? the last four years? >> well, there was a lot that was done, but there's more to do. anderson about policy positions, but what was clear is that the vice president has been trying to underscore that she would work across the aisle to accomplish policy solutions. >> he also in some moments showed a more authentic version the herself talking about faith and grieving her mother, but
5:05 am
notably, she also agreed that former president donald trump is a fascist. it was the first time we heard that from her so explicitly as she also repeatedly invoked john kelly and his remarks to the atlantic and the new york times. and that is part of the task over the next several days, according to campaign officials, i've spoken with which is reminding voters who former president donald trump is because they worry at some voters have forgotten about some of that, and we have also learned that part of that closing argument will be delivered on the national mall on the location where her former wear from president donald trump delivered that fiery speech in january 6, on january 6, that set in motion that attack on capitol hill by his supporters. so all of this coming together in the final days as the vice president, not only tries to differentiate herself from president biden, but also tries to remind voters of foreign president donald trump and warning of a second potential trump term. >> all right, thank you. to
5:06 am
priscilla alvarez there for that report. all right. joining us now to discuss scott jennings, cnn senior political commentator and former special assistant to president george w bush. kate bedingfield, cnn political commentator and former communications director and the biden white house, and tara palmeri, senior political correspondent for puck. thank you all for being here all right let me start with this we heard in the town hall from harris. she's really sharpening her attacks on donald trump after a long time dot talking about joy and talking about weirdness here is what she said about trump being accused of being a fascist do you think donald trump is a fascist? >> yes, i do. yes, i do and i also believed that the people who know him best on this subject should be trusted all right those are really stark words. >> and first two you, kate it feels like it gets lost in the
5:07 am
sauce that you have a vice president a fascist what do you think it is why she's making this turn from, you know, talking about joy and weird to calling her opponent she's not just calling her opponent of fascist. she's using the words of the people who know him best and served most closely with him when he was president the united states. i mean, she's using a word that john kelly, a conservative general, who stood by donald trump's side in the oval office, saw all the ways in which trump wanted to lie out. the constitution houston, use the military against american citizens. those are john kelly's word. so i think it's important not to lose sight of that. this is not kamala harris calling names. this is her lifting up the fact that somebody who served very closely with donald trump and was a supporter of donald trump is calling him a fascist. and i think, look, the practical reality, the police political reality, we are coming into the final stretch of this campaign.
5:08 am
one of the things the harris campaign has to do is jolt people up off the couch who have been apathetic about the process, who feel burned out by politics over the last. decade in this country and so what she's trying to do is remind people what the stakes are. so they're using blunt direct language that goes to some of the ways in which donald trump is a threat to the american way of life is reminding people that this is not just your average election and the stakes are very, very high. >> yeah i do want to mention you what harris did seize on this, right? it's scott journey. she seized on hearing from john kelly and his own words, said that he is a fascist and basically said that hitler did some good things what, is your take on her using those? because that is what his chief of staff who is the longest serving chief of staff said about donald trump yeah. my take is that she's running the exact same campaign here in
5:09 am
late october that joe biden, whatever on we've come full circle, they change candidates. but we got the exact same campaign. and also out of harris, we get no meaningful separation from biden, no meaningful differences on policy. she's basically just running the campaign that joe biden wanted to run. i think the problem with this vector of attack is that donald trump was president for four years to do anything hitler wish. they knew anything dictatorial that i know of. i mean, he was the president. people remember it and if you look at the wall street journal poll this morning he has a higher job approval for his time in office. then she has for her time in office as vice president, i'm just not sure people are going to buy this thing. and for democrats, it's just kind of stunning to me. you changed at your candidate, but you got the exact same campaign anyway except that he was reluctant to hand over power, transfer of power in january 6, but also democratic pollsters have found that for independence, this closing argument about democracy
5:10 am
mccarthy is particularly persuasive, even more so than the economy immigration, reproductive rights. >> so for those last remaining voters, those nikki haley type voters, the independents, the center center-right, soft republicans. you have to induce anxiety to get them out because they're essentially doubled haters. and that's what the democrats are seeing. and that's why you see her leaning into in the final hours and days? >> in my opinion, if democrats all democrats really believed in this, you would not have senate democrats running tv ads and pennsylvania and michigan and other places touting their work with donald trump. >> if they really believed it, if it was really a core value, would you be running ads saying, i partnered with hitler i partnered with a fascist. and if you really believe he is a fascist and you really believe he's going to quote, terminate the constitution i think somebody ought to ask a democrat today, how can you hand over power and donald trump if you actually believe that that's why i think this is ultimately going to be an empty argument because dems are running with trump, not against
5:11 am
him. >> and he said that people who have still not made up their mind republicans are republicans there already with trump, she's talking to the remaining soft republicans, those lot, hey, dad maybe they're like the brian kemp romney type republicans who are still on the fence. >> and this is an argument. they don't like that about trump. they don't like the danger. they don't like the existential brett democracy. they don't want to see people storming the capitol again. and so that's why they're pushing this language in the final days and you're right, it was biden's messaging at the time everyone thought it was out of touch when most people cared about the economy, immigration. but now, if you're a democrat, you're with kamala harris. if you're still on the fence, then you need to be pushed a little bit further. one kamala harris advisers said we're activating a little bit of trump ptsd, and that's how you get people out. >> now, let me ask you, let's hear from one of the voters in the town hall last night what are those voters said, stop trashing each other. we don't care. stop trashing trump's. she's talking to kamala harris, but she also said stop trashing the vice president. we do not care. the voters don't
5:12 am
care, kate, when you hear that from a voter who is still undecided and who still was undecided at the end of the town hall. what does that tell you well, it shows again is fatigue with politics, with the tone of our politics, the way it has descended again particularly over this course of this last decade as its coarsened and we could talk about a lot of reasons why that is. >> obviously i would argue including donald trump, but including social media, there are all sorts of reasons for that but it underscores a core facts of this election. of course, fundamental this elections that there are a lot of people who are tired of the process. and this is where i think harris is very smart early on in her her campaign after she went to the top of the ticket she's very smart in trying to set the frame and set the framework for turning the page from turning the page from donald trump, as opposed to trying to fade from biden. she's trying to make an argument that she's a new way forward and the benchmark that
5:13 am
she said around that at the beginning of the campaign was less about separating herself from biden economically, although i think she had has done a better job of articulating that over the last few weeks of this campaign than she did a couple of months ago. but she really tried to make this about representing a new kind of politics and turning the page from donald trump. and i do think that that is where a large section of voters who are ultimately probably going to be determinative in this election. are, you hear it there in the comments from that person they're tired of the name calling. they're tired of the vitriol. donald trump is the standard bearer for that kind of politics and she was smart to push off of that and present herself as a new direction and a new way forward on that i want to discuss his new york i didn new wall street journal polling showing that moved more voters now have an unfavorable view of harris compared to the split of favorable and unfavorable in august. >> tara, i'm curious what's happening here is when you go negative that
5:14 am
has happened? or do you think it's something else? >> i think when you go negative yet you got a little bit of that dirt on yourself as well? it's not a great thing that the more she's out there, the less people are liking her. i mean, she had a huge bump, but she also had a flawless rollout when she came out there. she was basically she wasn't out there in the media for the first month and she had celebrities around her endorsing her. she had this dnc and dnc rollout and now there are a lot of attack ads running and they're based on her own words in, for example, the interview she did with the view and she was asked, how would you separate yourself from biden? and she said she wouldn't change a thing and so those ads are running. there's the transgender ads that are running that trump has pushing out. so like we're in the final weeks and people are going to they're going to get a little dirty from these, these ads on both sides. i wouldn't be surprised at trump's unfaves are dropping, although i've heard that his favorables are actually going up i'm it reflects the closest of the race. i mean, that that's the truth, that they are at parody right now. so it's not surprising to see
5:15 am
them, even though i agree with terror when the rollout happened, it was good. but then when her candidacy made contact with the general public and reporters finally, in october, that's when the inversion happened. and what's surprising to me she keeps getting the same questions over and over again, just like she did from anderson last night. and she keeps having the same non-answers. i think people pick up on this and it's one of the reasons she's not been able to maintain that progress that she made when she got into the race? >> alright. scott, pair of kate. thank you all for having this good discussion. appreciate it. alright ahead. the fbi finding more than 100 weapons at the home of a man, they say shot an arizona dnc office three times. they think he was planning a horrific attack. details on that coming up plus georgia election officials say a foreign country likely true right to hack a website for voters. how they fended off that cyber attack. and donald trump's former national security advisor, michael flynn, has been years falsely claiming the 2020 election was stolen, but he's telling a different story in

georgia voters request absentee ballots. official say their systems kept working without any disruption of voters. still obviously, reason for concern, not just in georgia, but around the country. cnn national security reporter zach cohen here with the latest equity learning on this yeah, john, it's a good reminder of the keen interest hackers have in election-related targets and coming just obviously, days from the 2024 presidential
5:29 am
election. >> and look, we've been hearing from us officials for months now that hackers for a variety of shades and a variety of domestic and foreign could look to hack and target political campaigns, election offices for their own purposes. and in georgia, we're learning about this incident that happened a couple of weeks ago, officials telling us that they thwarted an attempt to take the absentee ballot website offline. is that website? that's used to request absentee ballots and it's consistent with what we've heard about other cyber incidents and other states as well, its efforts to target the election have really centered around not trying to change or flip votes as some conspiracy theorists have said, is ongoing. but instead of trying to change the perception around the security of the 2024 election, motion to gabe sterling. he's a top election official in georgia. he's talking about the security 30 of the voting systems. there despite the fact that there have been some vulnerabilities exposed in the past. take a listen what he said but we have multiple layers of security around several systems.
5:30 am
>> and there's a misunderstanding that is one of the reasons disinformation can take root so easily is people think, oh, hackers are doing something to the voting system that lack of understanding has been exploited by those who want to undermine people's confidence in our systems there's no evidence that hackers have changed votes, changed the results of past elections. >> and despite the fact that there are real incredible evidence of vulnerabilities in the election system infrastructure. state officials like gabe sterling insist that the layers clearly that are in place due make that those this mean that those systems are secure. so state officials remain vigilant and very aware of the intent of hackers to target the election systems in a variety of ways. and while a concern though, it's trying to reassure the public that those systems are secure and that their vote is secure. >> people like they've worked so hard to make this election safe. zach cohen, thanks so much for being with us. appreciate it. >> all right ahead. this morning, lawmakers on alert after the trump campaign missed keyed death lies to prepare for a potential presidential transfer of power why they say it could threaten our national

5:36 am
change, even just a little bit, it's not really close. >> it isn't so we have been talking about the idea that there's going going to be historically close election i think i might have said it on this particular program, but in fact, while the winter get at least 300 electoral votes the answer is. >> majority, yes. there is a majority, yes chance 60% chance that the winner of this election gets at least 300 electoral votes. versus just a 40% chance that the winter ends up getting less than 300 electoral votes. so for all the talk that we had about this election being historically close, which it is, chances are the winter will still actually score a relative blowout in the electoral college. >> my god, you're making my hair heard how can it be? >> that it's so close, but yet still more likely than not, that it's a fairly big victory in the electoral college. yes. so let's take a look at that polling average. all right, so if you look across the seven key swing states, the seven closest states in all of them, the margin right now is under two points, under two points,
5:37 am
but keep in mind, polling ain't perfect. my idea friends on average since 1,972 in the battleground states in the key swing states, the average error in the key swing states is three 3.4 points. so if all of the battleground states going one direction, you can end up with a map like this for kamala harris, where she wins all the key great lake battleground states wins, north carolina wins georgia wins arizona, who wins nevada. and she gets to 309 tenths even better than biden did. that's even better than biden did. of course, it could go in the other direction, whereby trump wins all the key great lake battleground states, north carolina, georgia, arizona, and nevada. and he gets to 312 electoral. that's even better than trump did exactly right? so based upon what we see, what the average polling her and how close the states are at this point, if all of the states move in one direction, one of these candidates could score or relative block the electoral college when 300 plus electoral vote, what does history tell us
5:38 am
about the possible? it's ability of all these states moving in one direction. >> history tells us that it is more likely than not that all of the swing state polling errors would move in one direction. so in 2012, 92% of the state's moved in obama's direction. that is the polls under did obama in 2016 83% of the swing states move together because the polls under did donald trump, of course we all remember that. and how about in polling averages underestimated donald trump. and so he did better than a lot of folks saw this time around, don't be surprised at the swing-state polls when they underestimate one candidate, they underestimate all of them in the states. and that was lead to a relative electoral college block of one of the candidates winning at least 300 election, harris finally, what did you learn about the word under did it is a real word. it is a real word. ai under did my dictionary growing up and it found out that i still have words that i need to learn there you go. >> harry enten. thank thank you very much. news. you can use
5:39 am
literally i was going to ask you guys that at the end of the second 100 did. >> thank you. >> alright, so at the cnn town hall event last night, vice president kamala harris it's went where she has not before agreeing with trump's former chief of staff, john kelly, that donald trump fits the definition of a fascist do you think donald trump is a fascist? yes, i do. yes, i do and i also believe that the people who know him best on this subject should be trusted that kamala harris plans to deliver her final closing argument speech, if you will, next week at the same site of donald trump's donald trump's speech at the ellipse on january 6, that set in motion the attack on the u.s. >> capitol joining us right now is democratic congresswoman from new jersey, a former us navy helicopter pilot and a harris campaign surrogate mike you, cheryl, congresswoman. thank you for coming in. >> do you think donald trump fits the definition of a fascist? >> do you think the label? matters you know, sure.
5:40 am
>> i think he fits the definition, but i don't think it matters. i think what matters to people is more around his actions and his words speaking admiringly of hitler and quite frankly, this is the first time that he has spoken approvingly of nazis. in fact, six years ago is i was first entering into my first congressional race. he had said it's charlottesville with nazis on one side who were chanting jews will not replace us. that there were good people on both sides. so this is not new for donald donald trump. he's spoken approvingly of putin of vladimir putin. he's spoken approvingly of president for life xi and viktor orban of hungary and other fascist so i think what should concern the american people is not a label, but rather what would donald trump do should he ever be in power again? and he's shown us in the past that he did not
5:41 am
want to leave despite a democratic election. the last time he was president and i think now with what he knows, it would be very, very difficult should he ever get into the white house again to run a really fair election without him doing everything he can to undermine it. >> the trump campaign denies that donald trump said these things. i want to play for you. how some republicans responded to this reporting, and john kelly's being on the record, how they responded to this on this show just yesterday look, we've heard a lot of extreme things about donald trump from donald trump it's kind of par for the course. it's really unfortunately with a guy like that is kind of baked into the vote at this point, not agreeing that trump is praising adolf hitler because all you have are the comments from general kelly again who did not mix with with president trump, who did not get along with president trump into the vote already. >> and also that and as you saw
5:42 am
from senator questioning john kelly's integrity, your reaction? >> you know it's times like these when i understand how important it is for kamala harris to be the next president of the united states because this country is not on its strongest footing when people act from a deep well of cynicism, we are not as cynical country. we have no reason to be a cynical country. we have almost from our birth been incredibly successful. not only with our idea, a lot ideology or vision, but making this country more fair for everyone, we need to continue in that fight to make sure we create opportunity and innovation and so all of our children have a great future. so we're ideals are resonating across the world of democracy and freedom and these are the things that are really bedrock principles of americans and when i hear this well of cynicism from the right
5:43 am
au, it's baked in. people know he is a fascist and really they don't care or they know he's spoken approvingly of nazis and hitler, but that's fine. just ignore that. it's baked in. that is not who we are as a people. and so when you look at harrison waltz, when they talk about the future, when they talk about what they envision for our children, when they talk about their constant fights for the american people, whether it's lowering grocery prices are lowering the cost of housing, are making sure the economy works for you. these are people who are putting the values of this country and the american people first, which is such a sharp contrast to trump, who has shown every indication in the past and i'm not just talking as president, i'm here in new jersey. we think trump for years operate in this area economically. he always puts himself first you work with him, you always end up getting the wrong end of the stick. a rod deal. he's basically what my dad would have called a snake oil salesman and we
5:44 am
don't need that as president of the united states i want to ask and you're talking about affordability crisis. and that is what we heard from undecided voters after the cnn town hall event of undecided voters last night, that one of the things that they care deeply about, one undecided voter, i want to play for you. she talked about how she wants to hear more about how the candidates are going to help them. which she says she is not hearing yet, even after the cnn town townhall with kamala with kamala harris, she's not hearing that enough in what she's hearing too much of is the candidates attacking each other. listen to this and another thing that is very much a turnoff, and this is with both candidates stop traffic shan each other. >> we don't care stop trashing trump. >> trump, stop trashing. >> the vice president. >> we don't care the voters don't care because what we
5:45 am
heard from kamala harris have heard on the trail and in the town hall was almost at every answer is part of an answer and then it turned to end. donald trump would be worse calling him unfit over and over again. what do you say to that voter important that elections are choices. >> and so i think it's both important to enunciate how kamala harris is going to lower costs for the american people. and she has laid out various plans, whether it's on housing grocery store prices to do just that but also to show that every economist has suggested that trump's economic plan is going to be huge costs for american people that the way he is going to implement competition with china is going to cost american families $4,000 cost to show that for example, here in this region, he was the architect of the state and local tax deduction
5:46 am
cap. and now we have a tax plan that we have to renegotiate because it's it's going to sunset and 25. so who do you want at the table are going for you an administration that cares about your family? cares about your future or an administration that is shown in the past with trump that all he cares about is enriching himself and his family after 80 minutes with the vice president, that one undecided voter, not making clear that she is not yet heard that enough for sure. >> congresswoman. thank you so much for coming on. appreciate your time, sir. >> this morning nonpartisan experts and democrats are sounding the alarm bells after the trump team missed a pair of key presidential transition deadlines, and that could have a huge impact on the peaceful transfer of power if he were to win the election, cnn senior white house producer betsy klein is joining us now what are these important steps that have been missed? and we're just 12 days from the election. >> yeah well sara, former
5:47 am
president donald trump has blown past a pair of these really critical deadlines toward preparing for a presidential transition. and the experts we have talked to with just 12 days to go really say that this could pose major problems to a peaceful transfer of power. now the first deadline that they missed with september 1, that is a deadline for the general services administration to sign a memorandum of understanding with the trump campaign that really lays out their access to things like office space, communications, secure email, and it support. the second deadline was a memo with the white house that really gives them access to agencies, personnel, information sharing. the goal here really is that they can hit the ground running as soon as the election is decided and the harris team meanwhile, has participated in all of these key deadlines. they have submitted their memoranda and the nonpartisan experts we are talking to are warning that this could pose a major problem to a smooth transfer of power if they
5:48 am
don't have the resources necessary to really hit the ground running and democratic congressman jamie raskin, he is the ranking member on the house oversight committee. he said in a new letter to former president trump and jd vance, quote that trump is departing from the well established norms of the federal government and demonstrating a spectacular disregard for the successful continuation of the essential institutions of american democratic government. now raskin is also warning that this could quote, threaten our national security and that may sound dramatic, but it's really not hyperbole because if you remember back in 2000 as they were recounting those votes in florida, neither bush nor gore were participating in a transition and the 911 commission report found that that could have contributed to the september 11 terror attacks. sara that's the klein. thank you so much. appreciate it. john right this morning, the white house announced a zero tolerance policy on traces of lead paint in homes have got new deal details on what happens if any toxic paint is detected and money cannot buy

5:53 am
georgia state capitol in atlanta this is cnn united healthcare knows you've got your whole life ahead of you focus on what matters which reliable medicare coverage from united health care cnn, health central brought to you by unitedhealthcare, medicare plan reliable coverage for your whole life? fair the biden administration is making new moves to crack down on lead paint, a new epa rule, just finalize that further, tightens lead dust standards. the goal is to eliminate altogether the decades old painted millions of homes paint that endangers young children. cnn's jacqueline howard has the details on this. he's joining us now morning. >> yeah. with this new rule from the epa, there are two things that really stand out
5:54 am
here. number one, the epa says that any level of lead lead paint by dust that's in the home or in a building is hazardous to our health. the second thing that stands out here is that with this new rule, it lowers the threshold when it comes to how much lead dust can remain in a building after the lead it paint removal process happens and that threshold of how much lead dust is allowed to remain has been dropped to the lowest level detectable in a lab so that's the number that this new rule is really focusing on in the history behind this, in 1978, the federal government banned lead ain't in buildings. but there are still millions of homes and buildings out there that were constructed before that 1978 ban. and these buildings still contain lead-based paint today, the epa estimates that there are about 31 million homes still
5:55 am
containing lead-based paint and about 3.8 million of those our homes. two young children who are especially vulnerable to lead exposure. so that's why the epa and the white house today, we're seeing them really crack down on the amount of lead that we can still have a home or inability today and remind people why lead paint is just so dangerous for kids right? >> well, let isn't neurotoxin and it has been associated with changes in the brain nervous system, developmental issues in children's slowed growth and so if you are someone who has a home that was built before 1978, if you are concerned about lead exposure sure. there are some steps you can take. number one, make sure that any children in the home do not have access to peeling paint number two regularly use a wet mop to really clean floors windows. these are the areas where lead dust can accumulate and that's what you went to target, is that lead dust? >> absolutely, jacqueline. thank you so much, sir. >> all right.
